product Details

Quinta Do Noval "Nacional" 1996 Vintage Port

Vintage Port is a specific style of Ruby Port which is made only in exceptional years and from the ripest grapes.  The fermented wine is fortified before being aged for 2 years in massive oak vats which preserve the ripe fruit character.  Upon bottling, the wines continue to age and can reward patient maturation for many decades.

Nacional from Quinta Do Noval is one of Portugal's best regarded Ports.  A small single vineyard at the heart of Noval's estate bears native vines on their natural, ungrafted, rootstocks - Portuguese soil, wholly Portuguese vines, Portuguese grapes, and of a rare Portuguese-owned estate.
